Training Plans & Rides

TRAINING PLANS

Whether you are a first-time rider starting on the 25-mile Mission Bay Cruiser or glutton for punishment looking to tackle the 88-mile Honey Springs Heartbreaker, we’re here to help you with specialized training plans. These plans are designed to provide a simple structure for every rider to reach their desired goal by event weekend.

The training plans provided outline the minimum recommended training, with one long ride per week. The long ride distances are based on the concept of gradual progression and recovery. In addition to a weekly long ride, we suggest you also ride (or do a spin class) one to two other times per week.

Note: If you have signed up for a two-day challenge, please select the training plan that corresponds with the longer of your two distances.

If you have any questions regarding the above training plans or training in general, ask us at training@gopedal.org.
